Synopsis

Sparked by her long search for inspiration in her life and work, Gail McMeekin has worked closely with some of today's most highly creative women for her one-of-a-kind guide to maximizing creative energy. "For many women," she writes, "breaking free of our societal and psychological chains is a prerequisite to truly creating a life that expresses our genuineness and uniqueness." The dynamic women sharing their secrets for the first time include Sarah Ban Breathnach, who channeled her creativity into the book she was "born to write" (the best-selling Simple Abundance); interior designer Chris Madden; and software tycoon Brenda Laurel. From interviews and conversations, McMeekin distilled the common themes in these innovators' lives and work into practices any woman can use.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

From The Back Cover:
"The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women is such a wonderful reading experience. I couldn't wait to hear each story and glean all the wit, humor, and wisdom from each woman's own experience - to me the most uplifting way to teach that I can think of. McMeekin's style is so readable and well paced, I felt I was sitting at her kitchen table getting all the best news about my own group of fiends."
-- Carol Adrienne, co-author of The Celestine Prophecy: An Experiential Guide and author of The Purpose of Your Life.

"Women who create are everywhere, but their success stories have been underreported. Gail McMeekin helps change that in her inspiring book for women - and men - who have the creative urge and the desire to live authentically."
-- Eric Maisel, Ph.D., author of Deep Writing, Fearless Creating, and Living the Writer's Life.

"An empowering book for those ready to confront self-defeating patterns related to creativity, and a great booster shot for those of us who have already faced and conquered some of the dragons."
-- Caroll Michels, career coach, artist, advocate, author of How to Survive and Prosper as an Artist.
